Thx Paul. Yes the asbestos is out. It was held down with small tacks in each corner and on a couple places a small dab of glue. I moisten it slightly with water to keep it from dusting and was able to pry it out (wearing a good respirator and gloves). The glued parts I moistened some more and the glue dissolved and the mush came up in a paper towel.f All into a sealed plastic bag and then I wiped down the inside of the cabinet.
The warp on the worst side is seen below. Its not terrible but it is more than I wanted to just try and snug up with a clamp and glue.

Looking around for "fix warped wood" on youtube I came across this video (by "fromthewoodshop") which is the technique I used on both sides of the cabinet. Heated from the inside with a heat gun for 3 minutes and then let cool. The sides did pull in some so I went ahead an forced glue down the cracks and sides and clamped it. We'll see how it turns out and holds up.
